Summary: Gran explicacion de la Cadena Critica
Review: He leido Cadena Critica (Goldratt), Project Management in the Fast Line (Newbold)y Critical Chain Project Management (Leach). Este ultimo da la explicacion mas exacta de las aplicaciones que tiene la Cadena Critica a la Gerencia de Projectos. Leach define clara mente que CCPM va mejorar el projectos en su totalidad (system thinking), reduciendo costos, tiempos de entrega, incremeta la confianza del equipo de Gerencia del Proyecto en tomar desiciones y sobre todo reduce la variabilidad de este. Un par de puntos en los que les falto trabajar mas a Leach fue en la aplicacion de Cadena Critica en proyectos multiples y dar mas sustentacion a la estimacion de tareas 50/50.

Summary: NowI have an idea what to do...
Review: I read Goldratt's Critical Chain and was interested but had no idea what to do next other than pay him a bundle of money for a seminar.
Not the problem here. Now I understand what they are proposing and I can explore these ideas further without forking up more money... at least until I need some good training. Which has it's place... after you've decided to committ.

Summary: Fantastic coverage of PM/TOC integration
Review: If your organization finds itself mired in delays, budget overruns, and exhausted staff 'running around in circles,' critical chain project management (CCPM) deserves your serious consideration. An excellent start on the road to dramatic improvements for managing your projects, this book by Mr. Leach includes his practical experiences and numerous tips for successful project management using the renowned Critical Chain approach created by Dr. Eli Goldratt. A key component of this work is the implementation plan, which will jump start your planning for the breakthrough solution to projects mired by bottlenecks and will set you on track for a process of ongoing improvement for your portfolio of projects. This book does a superb job of walking you through the theory, the psychology, and the practical aspects of critical chain project management. Another key thread is how Larry integrates the PMI Body of Knowledge principles with CCPM - a real plus for those who need the 'whole picture.' I highly recommend this work for those who are serious about making the dramatic improvements required to excel in the digital revolution - projects often are delivered 20% or more earlier using critical chain properly. Mr. Leach's book will get you started on the right track.

Summary: Experience Project Manager agrees with the Author
Review: Review of "Critical Chain, Project Management By Lawrence P. Leach" Critical Chain by Lawrence P. Leach is a must read for anyone working on a project, managing a project or managing an organization that manages projects. Mr. Leach in the first three chapters provides a thoughtful well-researched description of the need for a better way to manage projects. He provides a well reasoned argument for the need to change the process contained in the Project Management Institute's (PMI), Project Management Book of KnowledgeTM (PMBOK). Mr. Leach does a masterful job of weaving Total Quality Management (TQM) and Theory of Constraints (TOC) into project management. Mr. Leach then builds on this "learned" development and provides a very complete and knowledgeable primer for the process of planning and managing a project. The process he describes is complete and easy to understand. If your organization is using project management tools and is still embracing Critical Path Method for scheduling and schedule control the information contained in this book should give you food for thought and the reason for swithching to Critical Chain.
